We atay at this property before every cruise, 4 this year. The staff is always happy to see us and very courteous. The property is just 5-10 minutes from terminal, depending on traffic. They also provide parking during cruise but nnot transport to terminal. We will continue to stay there before our cm future cruises

Just noisy and was old and pictures misrepresented the rooms and property.Good for 1 night stay.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay worth the money

The only problem we had was the temperature of the water. It was more like taking a shower and baby warm water. It did need some updates, but otherwise it was very comfortable and very very quiet. Will most likely stay there again. It was close to the port where we were cruising
Brandy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay for a cruise! Cruise parking is available for $5 a day if you book the night before. The car was safe and the staff was very helpful! Just Uber to the Cruise port for $15 .

Pearl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We like to stay at this hotel the night before embarkation for a cruise. It is very well located close to the cruise terminal and the staff is always kind and courteous and the property is well priced for a nice room to stay in the night before a cruise.

Pre cruise stay

Did the job for a pre cruise night stay. No frills. Just a room and a parking space. Tv worked and the bathroom was adequate. The motel is dated but upgraded where it counts - the bed and flooring.
Joseph, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, efficient, safe & convenient location for the cruise ships. Will stay again. Only negative was the breakfast, a few small pastries & cereal.
Camille, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Max , the desk clerk, very friendly and helpful! Love the cruise parking options! Comfy bed, good TV, microwave, and fridge.
Kelli, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly Staff - Didn't like the environment

The staff is very friendly, and the room was surprisingly spacious. Plus, parking is free. However, there were two major drawbacks: the room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the smell was so overpowering that leaving the door open didn't help. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the train tracks meant we were disrupted by loud trains passing by at least five times a night. It's a good option if you are looking for something cheap and only one night.

Nothing spectacular ,but a clean quiet room
James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We last minute decided we to go to Galveston for the weekend. HJ staff was friendly. Breakfast is oatmeal, cereal and muffins. The room we clean, HOWEVER, the carpet was not. It was sticky and very...gross. I am sure it is simply time to update. Otherwise, it was an average, affordable stay for a last min trip.
Amy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Super convenient because Is close to the port , but is an old hotel. Very clean. Breakfast is so basic.
Carolina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is our 3rd stay in 6 weeks, each time leaving our vehicle for the week to cruise. Staff is always pleasant, rooms clean and comfy. There's a train track that has action, hence 4 stars.
